Workshops
The exhibition is being accompanied in most venues by a workshop
for adults and/or children. The workshops consist of a short talk by a
local historian followed by a talk and demonstration on printmaking
techniques. Participants will then be encouraged to illustrate an
incident or aspect of 1916 lore known to them. A small selection of the
resulting work may be added to the website, thus building up a record of
events and activities throughout the year.
Aspects of children’s printmaking workshops.
In these printmaking workshops, artists including Pamela De Bri and Margaret Becker, will work with children to uncover family lore and artefacts relating to 1916. An exhibition of prints exploring aspects of 1916, including the Proclamation, will be on display in each participating library prior to the workshops.
